This invention relates to improvements in broilers; and the object of the improvement is the construction of a device which is especially adapted .for broiling steaks, toasting bread, the. and which is particularly design ed for use over gas, gasolene, or oil stoves. The device is also well adapted for use as a warming-pan or for heating irons, cooking milk, keeping Victuals warm, &c.

The invention will be understood more fully from the detailed description hereinafter presented, reference bein ghad to the accompanying drawings, in which- Figure 1 represents a plan View of the device, showing the handle and skeleton lid in locked position. Fig. 2 represents a plan view of the device, showing the handle and skeleton lid in an unlocked position. Fig. 3 represents a cross-section taken on line X X of Fig. l, showing handle and skeleton lid in raised position; and Fig. t'represents a perspective view of a cross-wire, showing the spring extension, the loops, and, projection.

Similar letters referto similar parts throughout the several views.

A represents a pan of suitable sizefconstructed of tin or other suitable materiahpreferably made in the form as shown in Fig. 3.

B represents the U-shaped frame forming the skeleton lid, to which is soldered or otherwise rigidly secured the wire brace C. The ends of the frame B engage the holes D in the rim of the pan A.

E and E' represent cross-wires, one end of which is looped around Vthe wire brace C, as shown at F and F', terminating in the spring extensions G and G. These extensions rest against the rim of the pan A and normally hold the skeleton lid in the position as illustrated in Fig. 1. The opposite ends of the cross-wires E and E are looped around the frame B and soldered thereto at the points S and S and terminate in the projections II and 1H', which enter the openings P P in the rim of the pan A. The projections H and H' are guided in place by means of the handle I engaging the slots Q Q in the pan.

I represents the handle to the device. ,It is U-shaped, composed of wire, and soldered to the frame lB at the points J .T and looped around the wire brace C at the points K K.
